Students flood into Ada Schools on Tuesday morning, the first day of school for the 2016-2017 school year. Twenty minutes before the bell rang, traffic was backed up onto State Route 81, cars waiting in line to deposit kids at the door. One wonders if anyone rode the bus or walked to school on opening day. In any case, most all of those entering the building had smiles on their faces and excitement was in the air.
